SMYRNA, TN - In yet another gripping tale from the local Walmart, Smyrna Police are hot on the trail of two fashion-forward suspects involved in a theft that took place at the Smyrna store. The photos released by authorities tell a tale about the individuals who may have quite the eclectic taste in wardrobe, but not necessarily in personal ethics.
Walmart lighting makes it appear as if one of the suspects was sporting shiny gold-colored sandals. Above the sandals she had on grey yoga pants, and a pink top. Her clothing looked to be a bold choice, especially for someone allegedly looking to commit theft, but then again, blending in at Walmart might be easier than we think.
The other star of this crime saga is the second suspect. She was wearing a tan hat, black shirt, and a skeleton print that blared, “Do I Look Like I Care?” Clearly, she didn’t. It’s always memorable when suspects wear shirts that make for a good crime scene meme. In fact, suspects that wear clothing with a message that matches the alleged crime, are more likely to be shared on social media than those who lack that special message. The subject also had a large tattoo snaking from her wrist to elbow—a feature that might stand out to anyone who isn’t glued to their phone in the checkout line.
That t-shirt, the one with the “Do I Look Like I Care” message on the front, it looks to be an online Walmart exclusive for $19.99. That said, for those imagining this case playing out like a Hollywood crime drama, where detectives track down online t-shirt purchases to nab the perp, Smyrna detectives don’t quite have that luxury. The sheer scale of online t-shirt shopping in the U.S. alone this year amounts to $5.33 billion annually. Good luck narrowing that down, Detective Armstrong.
The dynamic duo left the retail giant in a dark-colored Honda Accord, likely from the 2003–2007 era—a nostalgic nod to when people still bought DVDs at Walmart instead of streaming everything. If the police manage to track down the suspects (and a small child, who was along for this dubious adventure), several charges will likely be filed.
If you recognize these suspects—or their fashion choices—Detective Kate Armstrong would love a call at 615-267-5012 or an email at kate.armstrong@townofsmyrna.org. Because yes, Smyrna, we still care.
